Moraine Valley Fire Science program apparatus

Bill Friedrich and Matt Schumann submitted images of the apparatus now being used by the Moraine Valley Fire Science program.

Moraine Valley Community College has expanded its training fleet for its Fire Service and EMS programs with the addition of a used pumper from the Frankfort FPD.  Formerly E731 in Frankfort, Moraine E3 is used for training with an x-Mack CF Pumper from Posen, IL and a former Chicago Fire Department Ford E-350 ambulance.  Here are pictures of these rigs.
